    Fine-needle puncture aspiration biopsy was performed in 182 patients with various visceral tumors. The results were negative in 4 (2.2%) cases only. The malignant nature of tumor was established in 140 cases whereas benign--in 38. The histogenetic type of tumor was reliably established in 75% of patients. In 25% of cases, biopsy revealed a malignancy but failed to identify its origin.
